lamp for his guest the latter took up gun
that stood in the corner, and had been
placed there by a younger brother of the
doctors who had been out rabbit hunting
with the gentlemen at the Atlantic House
during the day. The gentleman found the
gun was capped and thought he

lights, and covered the floor with debris and
pictures, startled the inmates from their

scene of terror, but as lights
brought, and it was that no serious
damage was done, quiet was restored. The
guest does not think he shall handle strange
